Venture Endlessly is a special mode in Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon.
Description[]
Finishing the main campaign for the first time with the true ending, namely, gathering all four Key Fragments from the Shrines, reach the Tower of Fate, and beat both The Enchantress and The Master Mind, will unlock Venture Endlessly mode.
Accessible through a tree trunk at the bottom of the Hangout area of the Camp, Venture Endlessly consist in an endless dungeon run inside the Pocket Dungeon. Once reached the end, the stages will repeat anew from the start, with the enemies inside becoming increasingly more powerful each time. If during an endless run, all of the Key Fragments are collected during a loop, thusly reaching the Tower of Fate again, from that loop forward the fragments will be treated as already collected, and as such the conditions for opening the four shrines are no longer needed to be satisfied until the next endless run.
The Puzzler's Pack DLC added an extra challenge to Venture Endlessly in the form of Beefto, a colossal Beeto that survived 10 loops of Venture Endlessly, who will reward anyone who is capable of doing the same with a special prize: once the 10th loop version of the Plains is reached, Beefto will be found inside a sideroom portal; talking to him will earn his own beeto ball, and in doing so, it will reward a special secret ribbon for the Guidebook.
Technically, Beefto can reward two types of balls: if the 10th loop is reached legitimately, starting from the first one, the ball will be golden, while if instead the options menu has been used to directly skip to the 10th loop, Beefto will take notice and the ball will be a less decorated one.
Trivia[]
- Beside the ribbon earned from Beefto, there are four other secret ribbons to earn for the Guidebook: Spinwulf and Random Knight are tied to the Quandaries in some way, Quandary Sage involves Marathon, and another is tied to Adult Bean's mustache. Once all ribbons are earned, a crown appears in the Guidebook.
